NBA Line of the Week for March 30 to April 5 2009

Obscure Point Guard Ramon Sessions (Nevada) saw his name in bright lights as he recorded a triple double last Wednesday (April 1). No Joke.
Playing at home against the Lakers, Sessions and the Milwaukee Bucks nearly pulled off their biggest win of the year, but fell just short 104-98.

In 35 minutes, Sessions put 16 points, 16 dimes, 10 boards and 2 steals.

Later that evening in Oakland, Sacramento and Golden State showed why both teams are in the cellar...No defense. The Warriors rallied from behind to win 143-141 in overtime.

With all those fireworks you know there were some big numbers.

For the Kings, Kevin Martin (Western Carolina) scored 50 points-23 coming from the charity stripe. Martin was 23-26 from the line, 5-11 from 3 point land and 11-22 overall from the field.

For the Warriors, Monta Ellis played 49 minutes, shot 16-35 from the field, 0-1 from behind the arc, 10-12 free throw shooting, also adding 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and finishing with 42 points.

Both these guards are tremendous scorers who get no publicity because they play late games on horrible teams.

NBA One Liner of the Week: 1/14-1/20

Candidates included Lebron James (51 points, 9assists, 8 rebounds) after driving 101mph.
Marcus Camby tearing it up (20 points, 23 rebounds, 6 blocks, 6 steals)
Camby again (24 rebounds, 11 blocks, 8 points)
Denver's Linas Kleiza (Who!) (41 points, 9 rebounds)
But I have to give it to Sacramento Kings' shooting guard Kevin Martin (Western Carolina), maybe the best player in the NBA you don't know.
In his second game back after sitting out 17 games with a groin injury, Martin helped the Kings top the Dallas Mavericks 122-120(last Monday 1/14).
His line: 39 points, 14-16 field goals, 2-2 3pt, 9-11 free throw, in 28 minutes.
